    The guarantee of origin referred to in Article 14(10) shall contain at least the following information:

    1. (i)

      the identity, location, type and capacity (thermal and electrical) of the installation where the energy was produced;

    2. (ii)

      the dates and places of production;

    3. (iii)

      the lower calorific value of the fuel source from which the electricity was produced;

      the primary energy savings calculated in accordance with Annex II based on the harmonised efficiency reference values indicated in point (f) of Annex II;

    7. (vii)

      the nominal electric and thermal efficiency of the plant;

    8. (viii)

      whether and to what extent the installation has benefited from investment support;
